Immigration
One of the first things he wants to do when he wins the presidential race is build a wall and make Mexico pay for it.
“As president, Hillary will end the three- and 10-year bars The three- and 10-year bars force families—especially those whose members have different citizenship or immigration statuses—into a heartbreaking dilemma: remain in the shadows, or pursue a green card by leaving the country and loved ones behind.”
"I will build a great wall -- and nobody builds walls better than me, believe me --and I'll build them very inexpensively. I will build a great, great wall on our southern border, and I will make Mexico pay for that wall. Mark my words."
Clinton also wants Congress to get rid of the 3- and 10-year bars, the time limits on undocumented immigrants who leave the country as part of a process to legalize their status are expected to stay away from the United States before returning legally.
Clinton said that Trump's plans would bring a "massive law enforcement presence" that would separate families.

Abortion
“We will continue to oppose - and seek to overturn - federal and state laws and policies that impede a woman’s access to abortion, including by repealing the Hyde Amendment.”
Politicians have no business interfering with women's personal health decisions. I will oppose efforts to roll back women's access to reproductive health care, including Republican efforts to defund Planned Parenthood. As president, I'll stand up for Planned Parenthood and women’s access to critical health services, including safe, legal abortion.
“Because of the Hyde Amendment, low-income people sell their belongings, go hungry for weeks as they save up their grocery money, or risk eviction by using their rent money to pay for an abortion.”
Planned Parenthood gives millions of low-income men and women in non-expansion states somewhere to turn for reproductive health services, education, and information. Even in states that expanded Medicaid, Planned Parenthood helps both those with and without insurance including those with Marketplace coverage. Free birth control, cancer screenings related to sexual health, STI screenings, and maternity care may be covered under ObamaCare, but even people with coverage still need a place to get those services.

Paid family leave
“When Hillary gets elected president she guarantees that everyone will get up to 12 weeks of paid family and medical leave.”
In January, Clinton proposed guaranteeing up to 12 weeks of paid leave covering at least two-thirds of a worker’s salary (with a ceiling) “to care for a new child or a seriously ill family member, and up to 12 weeks of medical leave to recover from a serious illness or injury of their own.
If Clinton’s talk of childcare “ever evolves into a plan it’ll never get done anyway.” Not being able to implement a policy — and not having a policy at all — are, of course, different things. And it’s an open question whether either candidate’s proposals could get through Congress, and whether the funding mechanisms the candidates have proposed can cover the cost.
Mostly untrue

Education
(Sarah E.)
“By 2021, families with income up to $125,000 will pay no tuition at in-state four-year public colleges and universities.”
Clinton’s plan would require families to make a “realistic” contribution toward tuition costs. Along with money from personal savings and borrowing, the estimated family contribution would include student earnings from 10 hours of work a week.

Health Care
(Sarah E.)
As president, Hillary will: Defend and expand the Affordable Care Act, which covers 20 million people.
The current enrollment numbers (as of February 2016) are roughly: 12.7 million in the marketplace, and very roughly 20 million total between the ACA between the Marketplace, Medicaid expansion, young adults staying on their parents plan, and other coverage provisions.
True, but expensive $$$
